Tonight: Cowboys first offensive play will be ?

[Hoov]

I wanted to make a thread where everyone can make a guess at what the cowboys first play on offense will be.

Here's mine...

Quick pass to Price, lined up as a slot receiver for 7-8 yards. It will be a slant or hook.

 

[Reality]

Well, the smart first play would be a 15-20 yard pass to Glenn or Price just to set a "here we go again" tone and put their blitz-crazy defense on their heals right from the start.

 

[Asklesko]

No doubt it will be up the middle with Julius.

I second that....try to start this game out exactly how the tempo was in the first game...

I think they'll go with a lot of short passes early on anticipating a lot of run blitzes from the Eagles.

1st Play: Look for Witten for a short pop-pass over the middle in the area vacated by Trotter.

Play Action pass to Glenn

LOL...you mean when Trotter blows up Al Johnson...however he will fall down giving Bledsoe enough time to complete his 15 yarder...:laugh1:

Where do we have the ball? That would help to determine what you call. If you open up stuck deep in a hole then you play if safe and allow our defense to turn field position around. My hope is we lose the coin toss and start off on defense this way if we are leading at halftime we have a chance to get the ball back 1st and put a bigger lead on them. If you’re trailing you have a chance to cut the lead with your 1st possession in the 2nd half.

Play action pass to Witten out of the back field in the flat. Possibly Polite if he is in the game.

 

[slick325]

It should be a run. The Eagles can't stop the run at all this season. Their levees are broken and hopefully Julius Jones, MBIII and Thompson can open the flood gates.

Its just for fun Dooms, like playing a football pool or something, just a guess at what the play might be.

 

[rgcowboys]

The Cowboys will pound the ball, to break the Eagles. I say first play inside run. Bledsoe will only pass 26 times tonight, and Cowboys run the ball 36 times.

 

[BARRYRAY]

Eagle secondary is really suspect, lots of passing if we have any field position...

Just for fun well then I call a TD on the 1st play. LOL. I think Dallas opens up with play action. Jones will be returning to the starting lineup and I think Philly will be looking for him so I would play action off of Jones look deep if it is there put it up if not check down to Key. I want Dallas to be aggressive but more important I want our guys to play smart.

We need to attack their secondary all game long, just like the first game. Their secondary is pretty poor.

 

[Jarv]

Handoff to Jones, laterall back flea flicker...

PP 80 yard TD !

Next

In the 1st game our 1st 4 possession all started around mid-field or in Philly Territory and that played a big part in Dallas opening up the offense, you can afford to be more aggressive when you have the field position to do so

 

[THUMPER]

My thoughts exactly.

You attack a team's weakness. Simple as that.

The Eagles' weakness is their secondary. They have no pass rush, we need to attack the secondary which will in turn open up the running game.

Thye will be expecting a run up the middle with Julius... wouldn't a flea-flicker be interesting...
